Still Jason didn’t say a word.

Then he slowly pulled his phone from his pocket, eyes fixed forward, unmoved by the whispers, the smirks, or the disbelief that coated the air like a thick fog. The doctor, standing off to the side, watched with folded arms, skeptical but curious.

Jason tapped a single number. The line rang once.

“Come with me. I’m at St. Anthelia Hospital. You have thirty minutes,” he said plainly—calm, no trace of desperation or pleading in his tone. And just like that, he ended the call.

Upon hearing what Jason just said.

The room fell quiet for a half-second. Just a second. Then chaos.

Immediately a ripple of laughter burst from the crowd like a sudden thunderstorm. One of the guys nearly doubled over, slapping his friend on the arm as he laughed.

“Wait—wait—what was that?” he said between gasps.

“Did you see that? He didn’t even explain anything! No begging, no emotion!”

Another guy leaned in, clutching his chest. “He just called the so-called miracle doctor like h

    Camilla didn’t answer right away. Her heart was racing, and her thoughts were tangled. She was just as stunned as everyone else. But unlike them, she had seen it building—Jason’s calm, his confidence, his refusal to flinch when mocked. And now… this?“I don’t know,” she finally said softly. “I honestly… don’t know who Jason really is.”When Camilla said, “Jason is Jason,” her voice was calm but carried a weight of finality. “What else do you want me to say?” she added, turning her gaze to each of them.At that moment Everyone went silent for a moment, their faces frozen with disbelief. Then they looked at one another, stunned that Camilla—of all people—would say such a thing. A few exchanged quick glances before one finally spoke up.“Wait, what do you mean by that?” Mia asked, frowning. “You two are supposed to be close, aren’t you? Are you seriously telling us you know absolutely nothing about him?”“Yeah,” another guy chimed in, clearly irritated. “We’ve people say they have see

    Jason stood quietly near the edge of the surgical room, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable. The others were still murmuring outside, trying to make sense of everything that had happened. But inside the room, the tension had taken on a different weight — something more sacred.The miracle doctor stepped forward, his face tight with concern. He paused a few steps from Jason, then gave a small bow — not of servitude, but of deep respect. "I'm sorry," the doctor said, his voice low, almost ashamed. "I shouldn’t have come late. If I had known… I would’ve been here sooner."Jason shook his head slightly. “Don’t apologize. You’re here now. That’s what matters.”The miracle doctor hesitated. Then he added cautiously, “But if you do this… if you use your energy on her like this, it’ll take everything. You won’t recover easily. You might be out for days.”Jason looked over at the girl lying lifeless on the hospital bed — a soft hum from the machines keeping rhythm with her fragile

    She stepped out of the surgical room slowly, the sterile scent of antiseptic still clinging to her hospital gown. Her bare feet touched the cool tiles of the corridor, and for a moment, she just stood there—blinking, as if the world had shifted without her catching up.The air felt different and she put on her slipper, from the hospital She took one more step… then another.No pain, Her legs moved with ease. Her balance was firm. Her muscles remembered how to walk—no hesitation, no stumbles. It was almost like she had never been broken in the first place.At that moment She looked down at herself in even more shocked. The hospital gown clung lightly to her frame, replacing the blood-soaked clothes she'd arrived in. Her hands reached subconsciously for the bandages that were once wrapped around her legs… but they were gone.Replaced by smooth skin and stillness. Not a trace of pain.As she turned the corner, her eyes locked on two figures ahead—Jason and the Miracle Doctor.They were

    Immediately Camilla's voice cut through the quiet like a blade.“Unbelievable,” she muttered, taking a sharp breath before facing them all with deadly gaze. “You all… you really forgot what mattered.”Hearing Camilla just said.the group shifted uncomfortably, unable to meet her gaze.“Our friend was lying there—barely breathing, brain-dead, her future shattered right in front of us—and what were you doing?” Her voice cracked with disbelief. “You were busy laughing. Betting. Mocking.”At that moment she took a step forward, her eyes glistening with restrained fury. “When you should’ve been worried sick, you were too busy tearing Jason apart. You were so blinded by your pride and greed that you forgot we were fighting for someone’s life!”Then none of them spoke. The air grew heavier with each word she threw at them.“If not for Jason… if not for the miracle doctor… you would be mourning her now. And instead of realizing that, instead of being grateful, you mocked him like a joke.” Th

    The moment the words sank in—that the Miracle Doctor had actually agreed—Alyssa’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape like she’d misheard. Her hands rose to her lips, then dropped to her chest, where she could feel her heart pounding wildly. She blinked several times, unable to hide the emotion rushing through her like a wave of warm light."Wait... did he just say yes?" she whispered, almost to herself.When no one answered, she turned to Jason for confirmation, her voice trembling, "Jason… is this real?"Jason gave a soft smile. “Yes, Alyssa. It’s real.”Upon hearing what Jason just said, Her knees nearly buckled from the overwhelming joy. For a moment, she didn’t care who was watching. She laughed through her tears, a stunned kind of joy, the kind that fills lungs with hope and makes the air feel different.She grabbed Jason’s hands and squeezed tightly. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”Camilla stood nearby, her eyes glassy with emotion. She had known Jason was different, but t

    Jason stepped slightly away from the others, slipping his phone from his pocket when he saw Summer’s name glowing on the screen. He answered with a low, calm “Hello,” and pressed the phone to his ear.“Jason,” Summer's voice came through fast, tight, filled with concern. “I just got off a call with my dad. Something’s wrong. They announced the new executive director as you—but the actual contract was delivered to my father’s name. He’s the one assigned, not you. But the public statement made it seem like it’s you. What… what did you do?”Jason glanced up toward the sky briefly, his voice composed. “I did that,” he said. “I asked them to announce it that way.”“What?” Summer’s voice cracked slightly in disbelief.“It’s better this way, Summer,” Jason said gently. “If they knew your father was the one behind that position, a lot of people would’ve started digging. He's better off not being in the spotlight until everything is stable. Trust me on this.”There was a long silence on the ot

    At that moment Summer’s brow furrowed slightly as she watched her younger sister retreat back toward the hallway with Jason. Her gaze lingered on their backs a little longer than necessary. Something didn’t sit right.“Wait,” she said, walking forward slowly. “Is there… something going on between the two of you?”At that moment Jason turned slightly, confusion flickering in his eyes, while her younger sister immediately waved her hand in protest.“No—nothing like that!” she said quickly, forcing a small, nervous laugh. “We’re just… friends now. That’s all. I mean, he helped us today. Is it wrong to be respectful?”Hearing what her sister just said Summer didn’t say anything at first. She just stared, quiet but sharp-eyed. Jason offered her a small smile, as if to say she was overthinking. “Summer,” he said gently, “you don’t have to worry.”But before she could respond, her sister did something unexpected—she looped her arm into Jason’s and tugged him playfully toward the hallway.

    Jason stood up from the dining table, politely nodding at everyone as he thanked Summer’s father for the warm meal. Though smiles and laughter had filled the room moments ago, something unspoken still lingered in the air. Especially between him and Summer.He valued her. Not just because of what she’d done for him or what they’d been through, but because of the quiet bond they’d slowly built. A bond he didn’t want to break. Jason wasn’t blind—he could sense things were shifting, but he chose not to assume. He respected boundaries, and if friendship was all they could ever share, then he’d treasure it fully.“Some feelings are better left alone,” he thought to himself, his hands casually brushing against his pants as he walked to the door. “Summer wouldn’t even want that. So why entertain it?”Summer followed closely behind, clutching her phone in one hand. She didn’t say anything at first. Her eyes kept flickering toward Jason, then quickly away.Her younger sister, eyes mischievous a

    Camilla sat beside her grandfather in the garden behind the estate. The quiet hum of the fountain nearby was the only sound between them. Her grandfather’s face had that thoughtful crease again—one she’d come to recognize when something serious was weighing on him.“So,” he said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the koi fish swimming in circles, “this Jason... The person who introduced him to you... was it a guy or a lady?”Camilla didn’t look up right away. She picked at the edge of her sleeve, trying to act normal, though her chest was already tightening with anticipation. “A lady,” she replied.Her grandfather finally turned to face her, his tone unreadable. “A lady?”There was a long pause.Bit by bit, something began to settle in the old man’s heart. Something he couldn’t quite place. His fingers tapped his cane lightly. The first bit—doubt.He wasn’t sure he liked this. Not because Jason wasn’t remarkable. No, that was clear. The young man had done more than enough to prove himsel

    The moment Summer mumbled under her breath that she’d be going with Jason and Camilla to the restaurant after all, her sister’s ears perked up like a dog who just heard the word “walk.”“What did you say?!” she gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.“I said I’ll be going with them, alright?” Summer muttered, not looking at her.She barely had time to finish her sentence before her sister leapt at her like a rocket, throwing both arms around her with pure joy.“You’re going with them?! You're going?! Oh my God, Summer!” she screamed.“Get off me,” Summer groaned, struggling in her grip.“Nooope! You’re not going anywhere,” her sister said through happy laughter, tightening her hug like a boa constrictor. “You’re finally coming to your senses!”Summer tried to push her off with a grunt, but her sister held her too tightly. Eventually, Summer gave up and let her hold her, rolling her eyes as she sighed.“Fine. Do what you want,” Summer mumbled, but deep down… a little smile tugged at her lips.

    At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but

    Summer's voice trembled with rage as she turned sharply toward the door. Her eyes flared as they met her sister's smug expression.“What are you doing there?” Summer snapped, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “Were you standing there the whole time?”Her sister leaned against the doorframe casually, arms folded, a knowing grin spreading across her lips. “I knew it,” she said, her tone light but laced with mockery. “You like him. You actually like Jason.”Summer’s stomach clenched. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not from fear, but from embarrassment and fury. She stepped forward, her face tight with anger. “What are you even talking about?” she hissed. “You were eavesdropping? On me?”“I don’t need to eavesdrop,” her sister said with a roll of her eyes. “You were basically screaming. Crying over a guy who took someone else to Pasu Mikazu. That doesn’t sound like a girl who doesn’t care.”Summer’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks flushed. She didn’t like this feelin

    Jason stepped away from the soft music and laughter echoing inside Paso Mikazu, standing beside a quiet corner where the call with Summer could come through clearly. Her voice came through low but sharp, laced with something he couldn’t quite place at first—until her tone began to twist."So you’re really there... with Camilla?" Summer asked. Her voice was calm, too calm, but Jason caught the edge in it. It wasn’t the usual Summer. It sounded like... restraint. Jealousy?Jason’s brows furrowed. “Yeah... today’s her birthday. I wanted it to be special for her,” he said honestly. “Why are you sounding like that?”“Like what?” she said, a little too quickly.“Summer, why are you reacting this way? Why do you sound so... off?” he asked, rubbing his temple with his free hand. “Is it because of Paso Mikazu?”Silence.Jason exhaled softly, trying not to overthink it. “Look... the truth is, that’s why I called you earlier. I wanted to tell you that anytime you’re free, just say it, and we’ll

    Camilla didn’t say much after Jason’s reply, but her silence was loud. Her jaw tightened ever so slightly, her smile faded in the corners, and her hands, which had once been calmly placed on her lap, were now locked together too tightly. She had been observing, quietly. She always did. And what she was seeing now didn’t sit right with her.‘Summer.’The name alone was enough to stir something in her chest. It wasn’t that she was insecure—far from it. But it was the way Jason spoke about her. The ease in his voice, the calmness, that small smile he always wore whenever Soma’s name was brought up. Camilla saw it. She always saw everything.Jason’s explanation sounded honest. It always did. But something in her gut told her there was more behind Summer’s call. And for some reason, that made her even more upset. Her gaze dropped to her untouched glass of fruit wine. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, just slightly.Ever since Jason came into her life, things had been different. Unpredictable

    Jason held the phone close to his ear, his brow furrowed. The noise from the softly playing instrumental music inside Pasu Mikazu faded into the background as Summer’s voice filtered through.“Jason,” she said, her tone quieter now, but not calm—more like something was being held back. “You’re with Camilla right?”Jason didn’t lie. “Yes… I’m at Pasu Mikazu. It’s her birthday today.”Jason said again, however There was a pause on the other end, and Jason could hear Summer’s faint breath.“Oh,” Summer finally said, her voice flat. “So, no one thought I was worthy enough to be invited too, huh? That’s… interesting.”Jason opened his mouth, but no words came out. The guilt settled in, even though he hadn’t meant it that way. Before he could explain, Summer continued, letting out a soft, bitter laugh.“I mean… I’ve never even stepped foot in Pasu Mikazu before,” she said. “But I guess some girls get first-time privileges.”Jason leaned back slightly, resting his head on the back of the cha

    As the suited waiter stepped aside gracefully, he gestured toward the hallway leading to the grand tasting room. “According to the ticket given to you,” he said in a clear and composed voice, “you’ve also been granted the privilege to live stream during your visit. However, I must respectfully remind you—there are certain boundaries.”He bowed his head slightly, maintaining a gentle tone. “The house-special drinks and delicacies prepared exclusively by Pasu Mikazu chefs are part of our confidential culinary signature. Those may not be recorded or streamed. But for everything else—the live cooking, the architecture, even the presentations—you may capture as much as you like.”At that moment Camilla blinked twice, still taking in the glow of the floor tiles beneath her feet. Her mouth parted slightly as if to speak, but all she could say was, “Wow.”Her friend, still gaping at the walls glittering with soft golden accents and hand-carved art, reached for Jason’s arm without realizing it

    As soon as the glass doors of Pasu Mikazu slid open and Jason, Camilla, and her friend stepped inside, it was as if they had walked into a different world entirely.For a moment, none of them said a word, the silence wasn’t awkward—it was reverent.The air inside carried a faint floral scent, soft like morning dew. The walls glowed, not from paint or wallpaper, but from something far more delicate—an opalescent finish that shimmered under the ambient lighting, like crushed pearls set into marble. The entire floor reflected their movements like a perfect mirror, smooth, pristine, and warm underfoot.At that moment Camilla froze mid-step.“Jason…” she whispered, her eyes wide, voice nearly stolen by awe, “this place…”Even her friend—usually the one who always had something sarcastic to say—had her mouth slightly open. “Are we… are we standing inside a dream?”It wasn’t just beautiful, It was unreal.Everything looked as if it had been designed by a deity with taste finer than anything
